Psalms 121
The speaker looks to the hills for help, but acknowledges that true assistance comes from the Lord, the creator of heaven and earth. The Lord is a vigilant guardian who watches over Israel and will not let them stumble. He provides protection from harm, serving as a shade from the sun and moon, and watches over one's life, coming, and going, both now and forever.
1I lift up my eyes to the hills- where does my help come from?2My help comes from the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth.3He will not let your foot slip- he who watches over you will not slumber;4indeed, he who watches over Israel will neither slumber nor sleep.5The LORD watches over you- the LORD is your shade at your right hand;6the sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon by night.7The LORD will keep you from all harm- he will watch over your life;8the LORD will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore.
